GROUP AND SEASON TICKET GUIDE
Dear Whitecaps fans, Welcome to the West Michigan Whitecaps 2013 season! As we head into our 20th year, we realize that none of the success we have experienced over the years would be possible without the loyal fan and community support. As such, I want to personally thank all of you for 19 incredible years of Whitecaps baseball. We are making some significant and exciting upgrades to our seating options, so please join me at Fifth Third Ballpark this season to experience all that a Whitecaps game can offer. Whether you are looking to entertain your top clients, host a company-wide picnic or just relax with your friends and family, our experienced and friendly staff will take care of all of your needs and provide helpful recommendations along the way. The Whitecaps are committed to the West Michigan community and we look forward to providing you with the best and most affordable family entertainment in the area. After 19 seasons… We’re still havin’ a ball!
Lew Chamberlin, CEO/Managing Partner, West Michigan Whitecaps
